[Bukit Timah] Primary Schools

[Scary]

phtthp:

amongst Bukit Timah schools, if compare:-


- Henry Park
- Pei Hwa
- Nanyang

- RGPS
- MGS
- BTPS

at end of P3 going to P4, which are the school(s) that produce the greatest number of their own in-house GEP students from P1-P3, without having to import outsiders from external outside schools ?

do we have such data ?

I wouldn't bother much about GEP cos I know my DS is not top 1%. My concern is PSLE. Pei Hwa is one of the very few top non-GEP schools. If one look at the top schools by academic excellence, most of them are the GEP schools and to me, of course they should be top cos they have the top 1% cohort. Not easy for PH to be one of them. And yes, most of the time, the top PSLE student in Singapore is from the gifted stream. I will be happy if MOE can publish the top non-GEP student.

More than 10 yrs ago it was a more popular than now, my nephews & nieces used to go to e school & it was under Mr Raja. I see that Mr Raja stepped down in Y2006 & the vice principal of HPPS took over. And seems then popularity went down. Saw from the balloting history data, BPPS was in \"green\" in P2CSupp - balloting for more than 2 km in y2006. Subsequently the years after that were cleared of balloting.

I agreed that the school standard have dropped since the HPPS Vice principal took over because the school only focus on students in Top 2 classes..... I withdraw my registeration since I got a better chance for sending my child to a better sch

if focus only on Top 2 classes, then remaining classes neglected, so standard drop over the years …

MOE publishes a list of top PSLE students in Singapore every year. Although they do not state which students are GEP and which are not, it's not difficult to make out whether they're GEP or not.

another year was that Qifa China girl who was 1 yr older than her peers.

If my boy is the top achiever in PSLE, I will proudly say that it’s the $$$$ I have spent not the Sch effort!!
